Color-changing Camo
Cabela’s ColorPhase is the first camo clothing that changes with the season. In mild weather, patterns are highlighted by vivid greens that blend with spring or early-fall foliage. Then, as temperatures drop below 65 degrees, the greens morph into autumn shades of brown. Offered in Cabela’s exclusive Zonz Woodlands and Western patterns, which also combine photo-realistic elements in the foreground with abstract digital shapes and textures in the background to create an illusion of dimension, optically blending the wearer into the surroundings. The patterns work up close or far away because the effect is achieved with natural shapes and not abstract pixels or hard-edged geometric shapes. Offered in caps, gloves, long and short sleeve T-shirts, button-up shirts, sweatshirts, pants, insulated jackets and bibs; priced from $19.95 to $79.95. Contact: Cabela’s, Dept. FFG, One Cabela Dr., Sidney, NE 69160-1001; (800) 237-4444; cabelas.com/zonz
Kestrel Shooter’s Weather Meter precisely measures up to 15 environmental parameters, and the integrated Applied Ballistics software helps you calculate accurate fire-control for long-range rifle shooting under those conditions. Select from either G1 or G7 ballistic coefficients to calculate bullet trajectory. Also offers the Litz measured BC library of over 225 bullets, considered the most extensive source of measured data for modern small arms. In addition, users can “train” the software to match a specific load based on observed impact. Also allows PC access to a full bullet catalog with Bluetooth® wireless data transfer option. Like all Kestrels, this meter is IP67 waterproof and MIL-STD-810F rugged. Retail price $619. Contact: Nielsen-Kellerman, Dept. FFG, 21 Creek Circle, Boothwyn, PA 19061; (800) 784-4221; nkhome.com
